The Willets Boutique Hotel

Good location, lovely old building on the high street.

There is no secure parking, only on street parking

The location was central and I enjoyed the ease of access to everything.

The bedroom and bathroom were well appointed, and the room had a lovely balcony.

My fiancée and I had the pleasure of spending the long weekend at Willets Hotel, and it was an experience that truly exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, there was a sense of calm and understated charm that set the tone for the entire stay. The hotel strikes a beautiful balance between elegance and comfort, with thoughtfully designed spaces, immaculate rooms, and an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. What stood out most was the attention to detail. Every touch, from the quality of the linens to the considered decor, felt intentional without being overbearing. It is clear that a lot of care has gone into creating an environment where guests can genuinely unwind. The location is another highlight. Nestled in Simon’s Town, the hotel offers easy access to the coastline while still feeling tucked away enough to be peaceful. Waking up to the fresh sea air and slow pace of the area was a real luxury. Service throughout our stay was warm, attentive, and genuine, never intrusive but always present when needed. It made the experience feel personal rather than transactional. All in all, it was a memorable weekend away and exactly what we needed. We left feeling rested, reset, and already thinking about when we might return.

It was beautifully decorated, great location - a walking distance from the harbour and restaurants. The Shed, the restaurant downstairs where we ate our complimentary breakfast made delicious food and drinks.

I was utterly disappointed when I found a dirty cleaning rag in our sink when we checked in. And was mortified when we spotted not only one but nearly five cockroaches a few hours later. They did remove the dirty rag and offered to clean the room again following our complain about the roaches but we didn't feel it would help the situation and suggested they fumigate instead. The roaches continued to pop up throughout our stay, and we had to make sure to check our bags before leaving to avoid taking them with us back home.
